READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERNS ± EG003-02 RevisedMarch 29, 2002
Page 15 of 23
Drive Pattern Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:

MIL is OFF.

Fuel level is between 1/2 to 3/4 full (for faster completion)
.

Altitude is 7800 feet (2400 m) or less.

ECT (Coolant Temp) is between 40F and 95F (4.4C ± 35C).

IAT (Intake Air) is between 40F and 95F (4.4C ± 35C).

Cold Soak Procedure has been completed.
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake
Air) must be less than 13F (7C). (Refer to Examples 1 and 2 on previous page.)
Drive Pattern Procedure

Connect the OBDII Scantool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions.

Release the pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling the fuel tank
cap.

Start the engine and begin driving as directed.
NOTE:

Do not turn the ignition off until the drive pattern is complete.

Drive on smooth roads to reduce excessive fuel sloshing.
2a. Start the engine and as soon as safely possible begin driving at approximately 45
mph (72km/h) for 5 minutes. (See illustration on previous page.)
2b. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) for 15 minutes and include a
minimum of two stops for approximately 30 seconds. (See illustration on previous
page.)
The monitor should complete within approximately 20 minutes. If it does not, ensure
preconditions are met and repeat the drive pattern process beginning with the Cold Soak
Procedure.
NOTE:
The readiness status may not switch to ªcompleteº after the first drive pattern trip if a
Pending Code has been set (first trip for a two±trip DTC).

Pending Codes are available from the DTC Info Menu in Enhanced OBDII.

Pending Codes indicate a POTENTIAL problem was detected. A second trip is
needed to confirm the DTC prior to diagnosis.

Once a second trip is completed, a current DTC will be stored. Readiness

minutes. (See illustration on previous page.)
NOTE:
If the vehicle is not equipped with A/C put a slight load on the engine by doing the
following:

Securely set the parking brake.

Block the drive wheels with wheel chocks.

Allow the vehicle to idle in drive for 15 ± 50 minutes.

EG003-03Title:
SULFUR ODOR FROM EXHAUST
Models:
All Models
Technical Service
BULLETIN
February 24, 2003

Some owners of Toyota vehicles may experience a sulfur±like or ªrotten eggº odor from
the exhaust system. Sulfur is a natural component of crude oil from which gasoline is
refined and the amount of sulfur can be decreased through the refining process. The
amount of sulfur in fuel sold in California is regulated, however gasoline sold in other
states can have substantially higher sulfur content. Sulfur content also varies
considerably between gasoline brands and locations.
All Models.
A sulfur odor emitted from the vehicle's tailpipe does not necessarily indicate that there is
an issue with the engine's running condition, but is most likely directly related to the fuel.
If the vehicle is exhibiting an excessive sulfur odor, the following checks should be
performed:
If the MIL light is ON, check for DTCs and repair as necessary.
If no trouble is found after performing the above check, recommend the customer try a
different source of fuel.
Replacement of oxygen sensors, air/fuel ratio sensors or catalytic converters will not
reduce the odor and will therefore not
be considered warrantable.
